Was trying to replace a white plug socket with a silver one
when i took off the old socket there was a live, neutral and earth wire that all has two cores coming out of each wire and a separate earth one that only had one core
Wired it all up etc and when i plugged something in it worked but now every so often the electrics are going off and in the main box the main switch is off and the big grey switch with the test button is also off
when i put the old socket back on the electric has stayed on since so all i can think is that the wiring was loose when i put the new one on
Any one shed any light?
